In other news... Glad it's real, glad you got awesomesauce in return for finding a screwup on their part... and hopefully they'll give you some sort of recognition in the wotC articles, just because it's awesome to get your name mentioned (i've been mentioned once myself, was equally cool)

Congratulations, man. Been following this thread from the get go, and never doubted for a second. Populate looks great in my Ghave deck. However, now that this mess has been finalized, we need to come up with a name for your legacy!

I fear I won't have much time to play Magic these days.
I get to watch worlds develop around me.
I get to watch great leaders, terrible oppressors, and trend setters rise and fall.
Limited, Standard, Modern, everything is a different playing field I feel I can observe, but will not actually touch.
I look forward to the stories I will hear.
And more so to the ones I will watch unfold first hand.
Isn't the unknown exciting?
You've been a very cool guy in all that story, even when people were calling fake. You were always willing to post new pictures, even sending the card to Wizards to make sure it was real.
The spoiling of a simple common was all an adventure, and I'm glad it got a happy ending.
I want to play this card with Geist of Saint Traft during combat before damage is dealt. Geist sticks around, as does the angel token that you make off the populate. Seems good, right?

Yeah, I mentioned that a couple pages back, no one said anything.
But yeah you get a 4/4 flyer for 2W...I'm pretty sure that the populate mechanic will pop up at cheaper without that indestructible, like a W or 1G instant.

I'd reverse that. a 1W or a G instant seems more likely, but G is pretty nuts. Don't hold your breath for it.
Geist has been talked into the ground in this thread, really. It's an okay interaction, but your deck would be structured very differently from how decks use geist now. Talrand/Spirit token decks would key into specifically this card better than geist.
Now that we know its real, do we know it's from RTR and not a later set? Considering it seems to have a different symbol for the set than the rest of the cards spoiled... unless those are izzet vs. golgari symbols?

Rootborn Defenses uses the RtR symbol. The other spoiled cards are currently using the IzV.Gr symbols.

If it would mean Wizards has access to the Golden Legal Army of Disney and could slay the Reserved List, I for one would welcome our new rodent overlords.
This card also has the distinction of being my least favorite art on a card in the set thus far,... he looks... Out of place to say the least. His face seems to say: "I'm only wearing this outfit because if I don't Niv will eat my family."
Populate does not target. Just read the reminder text.
Damn. Alright. Thanks anyways. The mechanic could have gone either way. Still, My tokens get protection from boardwipe, so thats a plus. Especially since, in my area, Steel Hellkite is a popular card.

If it's Standard you're talking about, Steel Hellkite won't be in the format anymore once Rootborn Defenses is, by the way.

So, the Selesnya guild have taken in the staff of Wizards.
Also cool stuff.
At least now we're completely certain it's real!
Have all of them.

Hey! This is the rumor mill, we're not sure anything's real, even when we're holding it in hand.
That Selesnya banner is awesome. I hope that is what the guild banners look like that come with the League Kit.
